2024-12-18 Release Notes
News
If we had an office it would be closed next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. But at least two staffers will be in the lookout tower at all times — scanning the forest for signs of trouble.
Changes
🔄 Effective 2024-12-19 for demo sites, then 2024-12-27 for live sites. 🔄
🪄 API mavens should review the always informative, interesting, and ever changing API Changelog.
🚒 🚒 LS-122877: InCert Alert II: The Embiggening: We've notified everyone we know of who is using InCert already, but just in case: The new required "API Guided Navigation" user role permission should have become available on all affected live sites on 2024-12-13 so you can add it before your InCert intakes otherwise stop working on 2024-12-20.
🦾 LS-120912: You carefully set list order on your Family Relationship lookup values, but were dismayed to see your shiny InCert intake of wonder did not honor your ministrations. Now it will. Bonus: While he was digging around, the developer discovered 8 other lookup lists similarly afflicted in InCert land. And fixed them all.
⏱️ LS-121716: AMI Poverty Category and HUD Median API blocks each get a Timeout configuration option. If there is no response from HUD's API server within that number of seconds, the fields that can't be populated will display a friendly message.
🏛️ LS-122360: The Next Court Date field is great. But wouldn't it be grand if there was a separate system field for Trial Date (because you may have many next court dates before a trial starts)? And Trial Date could be added to the Current Assignments list view adorning homepages? Grand indeed, so it shall be so.
🦾 LS-122361: The list of cases produced by the Mass Assignment Update feature now includes columns for Case Status, Legal Problem Code, and Special Legal Problem Code.
🪺 LS-122510: You added some nested Branch Logic on your shiny Service profile of wonder, but were saddened by it not displaying as you expected. De-saddening is headed your way.
⚡ LS-122573: The Charge Penalty Class lookup gets a new field, Penalty Class Weight, and the Enhanced Charges block gets a new Automatically Set Top Charge Based on Penalty Class Weight configuration option. While in that block we made it so if the Top Charge field is configured to default to Yes, it will now only set a new charge to Top Charge if no other charges have been set to Top Charge.
🌊 LS-122771: The text size in Flowblock Header elements is now the same size as the Open, Closed, etc. text displayed by the Case Disposition element.
🔢 LS-122901: The User Leave Accruals block now lets you configure the number of decimal places allowed by the Hours field. Similarly, Advanced Grant Management's Holiday Schedule lookup list values' Duration attribute now accepts up to 3 numbers after a decimal.
🗣️ LS-122905: Accessibility: Say you have set the new "Skip toolbar when tabbing into TipTap (RTE) element" setting on your My Preferences page to Yes. Now when you tab to a TipTap editor element, your screen reader will announce that the toolbar is disabled, but can be enabled on your My Preferences page. If you've set that preference to No, you will travel through the icons (Bold, Italics, etc.).
📆 LS-122981: Using the Online Intake Transfer block to test early for appointments will not leave the destination site with an extra, undesired, mostly blank pending transfer.
🔎 LS-122998: The In-Place Client Search block on an intake treats the newly created matter as a prescreen (instead of an incomplete intake) if you Copy From a prescreen in the search results. Not the desired result, so we've convinced the block to stop doing that.
✅ LS-123006: The Conflict Search Results block gets three new configuration options, Show Non-AP Maiden Name, Show Non-AP Home Phone, and Show Non-AP Email. They are checked by default to maintain current behavior, but we'll understand if you want to rush over there and uncheck them.
👉🏻 LS-123019: Showing pro bono restricted access users the View Content button on document profile pages, but telling them permission denied if they dare click is rude, so we'll stop doing that.
⚡ LS-123121: The form header above the Enhanced Charges block can now be configured to display your desired prose, or hidden. The configured label for the Top Charge field will now be honored in the collapsed charge header, and setting Top Charge to be hidden will hide all indicationa of which charge is the top charge.
👓 LS-123158: The Content Viewer now has a Download link in the upper right corner. The zooming experience has also been improved.
🏭 LS-123250: Added Activity Code as an available column and filter on the Timekeeping list view which surely adorns your shiny dynamic user profile.
📧 LS-123382: Rearranged the body text of the MFA verification email to put the code first so it is visible in notifications and most Inbox lists without needing to open the email.
🚒 👨🏽🚒 LS-123237: Guided Navigation expressions testing whether a boolean or single value field "is not empty" will now do what you expect. Fix pushed out on 2024-12-15 at 5:00 PM Eastern.
🚒 👨🏽🚒 LS-123257: We removed the "sync" icon on the Gavel admin list of templates because it updates each time the page is loaded. Except that it wasn't. Updating that is. Now it is. Fixed pushed out on 2024-12-16 at 12:12 PM.
🚒 👨🏽🚒 LS-123351: If you've cleverly hidden the Create Contractor Work Order block (from the Contractor Module) behind branch logic asking if you want to create a work order, it will now play nice and not try to create a work order if the person says "No thanks, don't need a work order". Fixed pushed out on 2024-12-17 at 2:59 PM Eastern.
